Hello everyone. This is my first post and after doing lots of reading here I have a question. Should I configure one 48 volt pack or two 24 volt packs for my battery bank?
My inverter is a 48v Growatt SPF5000TL HVMP and I have 16 Eve 3.2v 280ah Lifepo4 battery cells in transit.
From what I have researched:
Pros of 16S
Less wiring
One BMS
Cheaper to configure that 2 x 24
Cons of 16S
If the BMS identifies something is wrong the complete battery system shuts down (no redundancy)
Takes up a wider footprint
I am leaning to two 24 packs with two BMS as space is an issue (I can stack them on top of each other) and I like the redundancy protection.
As mentioned I am a novice on this and its my first battery build and I want to put the question out there to lean on the deep knowledge here and see whether I am on track. Thanks.
